## Structural Context

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **AlphaFold model** | AF-O76024-F1, v6 |
| **pLDDT at residue 179** | **88.56** — well-folded |
| **Domain** | N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered) |
| **Position context** | N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered) |
| **IDR flag** | No — pLDDT above 50 threshold |

**UniProt features at this position:**

  (none catalogued)

> Position 179 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is small/hydrophobic (alanine — methyl sidechain); the mutant is small polar (threonine — hydroxyl). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

## Research Path Decision Tree

```
ΔΔG < 2  + binding site affected   →  CATEGORY 3 — docking experiments
ΔΔG 2–4                            →  CATEGORY 2 — pharmacological chaperones
ΔΔG > 4                            →  CATEGORY 1 — gene therapy
pLDDT < 50                         →  CATEGORY 5 — IDR, experimental only
Stable fold + functional site hit  →  CATEGORY 4 — site-specific docking
```

## Final Schema Categorization

**Category 2 — Moderately Destabilizing**

<strong>Category 2 — Moderately Destabilizing</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=2.09 in the 2–4 range. Pharmacological chaperone candidate.
